US Products Kraken Flood Pumper Water Extractor – 16" Flood Wand, 05-10035-001

Kraken Flood Pumper Water Extractor with 16" Flood Wand — 05-10035-001

The US Products Kraken Flood Pumper is a high-flow water extraction machine built for flood response and large-scale water damage recovery. The 05-10035-001 ships with the 16" Flood Wand included — a wide-path tool designed to cover maximum floor area per pass when bulk water removal is the priority, not fine carpet cleaning.

Kraken Flood Pumper — What Sets It Apart from Carpet Extractors

• Machine purpose: High-volume flood water extraction — not carpet cleaning
• Included tool: 16" Flood Wand — wider path than carpet wands for fast bulk water pickup
• Pump type: High-capacity water extraction pump
• Weight: Approx. 45–50 lbs
• Dimensions: Approx. 32" L × 18" W × 28" H
• Warranty: 10-year limited housing, 2-year major components

Flood Recovery Workflow — First Response Water Extraction

Water damage restoration follows a defined sequence: extract bulk water first, then deploy air movers and dehumidifiers to dry residual moisture. The Kraken Flood Pumper handles the first phase — the 16" Flood Wand covers 33% more floor area per pass than a standard 12" carpet wand, which matters when standing water needs to be removed from large areas before dryout equipment can work effectively. Removing bulk water before airmover deployment also prevents motor damage from operating air movers in flooded conditions.

Flood Pumper vs. Carpet Extractor — Using the Right Machine for Each Phase

Flood pumpers and carpet extractors are not interchangeable. The Kraken is optimized for high-volume bulk water movement — it pumps water out at rates that exceed a carpet extractor's recovery tank capacity. After the Kraken removes standing water, a dual-vac carpet extractor (such as the Neptune or Pegasus series) handles the secondary wet-carpet extraction phase to remove embedded water from fiber and pad before dryout begins. Using a carpet extractor during the bulk water phase wastes time; using a flood pumper for the post-flood carpet phase misses embedded moisture.
